He who follows his colours into the ranks of the enemy in pursuit of victory, disdaining the miserable passion for gathering booty, comes out of the battle with his honour untarnished, and, though barefooted and ragged, is far more to be envied than he who is laden with rich spoils ga. thered in the trnil of his victorious comrades. There was some exceptions to the general misconduct on the afternoon of the 19th, but it would be (Liftoff to specify them all. Let those who did their duty be satisfied with the consciousness of having dent , it, and mourn that their efforts were paralysed by tlle misbehaviour of others. Let them be consoled, to some eX7cut, by the reflection that the enemy has nothing to boast of on his part. The artillery and waggons were taken not won by his vglour. llislcomps wore destroyed, his army terrib;.y shattered and demoralised, his losses far heavier than ours, even in proportion to the relative strength of the armies, his plans materially im peded, and he wasun able to pursue by reason of his crippled condition. Soldiers of the Army of the Valley, I do not speak to you in anger ; I wish to speak in kindness, though in sorrow. My purpose is to show you the causes of our late misfortune, and point out the way to avoid similar cues in future, and insure success to our arms. Success can only be secured by the enforcement and observance of the most rigid discipline. Officers, whatever their rank, must not only give orders, but set the example of obeying them; and the men must follow that example. Fellow soldiers, lam ready to lead you again in defence of our common cause, and I appeal to yon by the remembrance of the glorious career in which you have formerly participated, by the woes of your bleeding country, the ruined homes and devastated fields you see around you, the cries of anguish which came up from the widows and orphans of your dead comrades, the horrors which await you and all that is yours in the future if your country is subjugated, and your hopes of freedom for yourselves and your posterity, to render cheerful and willing obedience to the rules of disci• pline, and to shoulder your muskets again with the determination never more to turn your backs upon the foe, but to do battle like men and soldiers until the last vestige of the footsteps of our barbarous and cruel enemies is erased from the soil they dese. crate, and the independence of our country is firmly established. If you wi'l do this and rely upon the protecting care of a just and merciful tied, all will be well ; you will again be what you once were, and I will be proud to lead you once more to battle.

JOHN 2 7, Cannon- s t reet, E.C., LondoNV EST WOOD, Secretary. London Ncv. 2, 1861. N°. 22,586, own responsibilities and duties in connexion therewith. After what then passed, and the small share of support I received from the chair, 1 do not feel personally inclined, nor do I see the advantage that would arise from my again attending the court until my duty may imperatively require me. I desire, however, o put on formal record my views as to our present position, and as to the course which ought to be pursued. You are aware that I have for some time past regarded the position of the bank with apprehension. That apprehension has been seriously increased by the recent revelations. The committee appointed at my instance has brought to light larger losses and a far more imperfect system of management than we were any of us previously aware of. The examination has also elicited facts connected with our losses which aro of a very serious character. I have ventured to submit to yourself and my colleagues what appears to me to be our only remedy. But whilst I find my colleagues generally concurring with me as to the seri ous character of past transactions, I do not find them pre pared to take the only step by which, as it seems to me, the property is likely to be saved from ruin. Under such cir cumstances, the grave question which I have to consider is, by what course of proceeding I can divest myself of any portion of the serious responsibility which devolves upon me, and how far I can best perform my duty, not only to those who, at my instance, have invested their money in the bank, but to all proprietors at large who have honoured me with their confidence as a director. There is no ordinary meeting of proprietors until the month of January, 1858. The cir cumstances, however, are so serious that I think it ought to be deliberately considered whether we are to await that period or give the proprietors an opportunity of considering the position of the bank. In the balance sheet to Sept. 30, 1857, our losses were stated to have been Ll,lOO ; according to your statement at the court in July, they are now upwards of £lO,OOO, showing a loss of nearly £9,000 in three months. The customers' deposits in the bank do not increase—at the present time they would be less than they were six months since, and had not several thousand pounds been paid in in respect of the call of the Unity Fire Company. Our paids up capital (L 150,000) hae been so dealt with that we have no more than £ls,ooo—or one-tenth of the whole—availa ble at the present time for banking purposes. Our shares of the value of £56 each are at the present time not saleable in the share market. Without reference to the many other grave and startling facts which are known to us, it ap pears to me that the foregoing considerations alone are suffi cient to indicate the propriety of calling our proprietors together. I accordingly request that you will have the kind ness to submit this communication to the Court, and take There was a sum of £2,200 entered as loss on branches, which was also passed to the preliminary expenses; and a sum of £1,870 as commission on the sale of shares, and £B4B for a dinner at the opening of the bank, were also charged to the preliminary expenses. Mr Lewis—The dinner was opened with prayer. (A. laugh.) Mr Metcalfe—There was nothing unusual in that. Mr Sleigh—lt is a custom in this country, and I hope there will never be a dinner without prayer. Witness—There is a payment of £6,000 to Mr Baylis, who was the managing director of the bank, and received a salary of £l,OOO a year; and there are three entries in the books of £l,OOO each paid to him subsequent to the £6,0003 and the whole of that £9,000 is charged in the preliminary expenses. By Mr Sleigh—There was nothing to show whether Mr Terry was only a clerk or not at the time these entries were made. gong, and to exercise the full powers of a magistrate. Mr V. G. Taylor has been appointed joint magistrate and deputy collector of Tirhoot. Macpherson has been appointed joint magistrate and deputy collector of Backergunge. Mr E. G.

DIRECTORS. The following is an extract from a letter from a Confederate prisoner of war, dated Point Lookout, Maryland, Prisoner of War Camp, Oct. 10 : " This letter will not be sent through the regular channel of United States officials, but will go by private hand to Baltimore and be mailed there, I shall thus be able to write you more freely. There are 7,000 of our prisoners at this point. Most of them having been in prison 12 months have suf fered many indignities, and been subject to the most galling ordeal of sacrifice and hardship, which none bat themselves can realise. The Yankees, with characteristic malignity, use the most cowardly means and inducements to cause our men to desert that country which they love so well. Our rations are curtailed, our blankets taken from us, no wood furnished ; our men are shot down in cold blood. Then comes the comedy. The officials, in the livery of the United States Govern ment, with faces radiant with smiles, ride through our prisons. The oath of allegiance to the United States is offered us, and our men are entreated to leave the g so-called Confederacy,' and fight under the ' stars and stripes,' and be relieved from the horrors and sufferings of a prison life. These arc only a few of the means employed. Everything that Yankee ingenuity and Black Republican malice can suggest is used to accomplish this pur pose, But, thank .God ! these Southern patriots, though tortured and persecuted by the representa tives of ' the best Government the world ever saw,' still remain true and faithful to the cause which they have espoused; they reject with indignation and contempt the offers of our magnanimous Yankee philanthropists, and anxiously, hopefully look for ward to•the future, when they shall once more, with musket in hand, be under the folds of that banner which on more than a hundred fields has waved triumphantly in the face of the United States army. Our confidence in the final success of our arms has not been lessened by the ordeal through which he have passed. True, a cloud hangs over us now, but we still feel hopeful and sanguine of ultimate success in the future. With such men as Davis, Lee, Beauregard, and a host of others, we cannot be conquered, but we will fight on till our indepence is gained, or until the Southern people are ' numbered with the things that were.' rhe Southern spirit is invincible, it will surmount all obstacles, and overcome all hardships, and endure all privations to secure our people a separate nationality, distinct from this modern mobocracy established at Washington. We are told every day by our gaolers that Richmond has fallen, that our armies are beaten and demo ralised, that our people are discontented and starving, that our troops are deserting, and that we are in the last ditch, &c. Of course such rumours and reports have no other eff,ct upon us than to make U 3 more determined, if ever the opportunity offers, to revenge these base calumnies and insulting taunts. The worat feature of our imprisonment is the being guardel by ' negro soldiers '—our own slaves stolen from us by our magnanimous Northern brethren ; but there is no alternative, we must re. main and suffer for conscience and for country's sake until our Government can effect an exchange. These privations, however, are only for a time. The Southern people are only suffering temporary hard ships and sacrifices; for I am forced to believe that a glorious future is in store for the Confederate States, and that after safely passing through this terrible ordeal of war we as a people and a separate nation shall be better able to enjoy that independ ence for which we have suffered and battled, and which we are determined to extort from oar bitter enemies. No doubt I weary you with this lengthy history of the sufferings of myself and comrades at the hands of the United States officers; bat I feel certain that I am writing to one who deeply sym pathises with our people, and who has done all in his power to ameliorate and lessen the sufferings of myself during a long imprisonment here. My health is still quite good, and my spirits as buoyant as could be expected under the circumstances." Paid up, BOARD OP Just published, price 45., AN ENQUIRY INTO THE PRIMEVAL STATE OF EUROPE.

That balance sheet was in the minutes in Burch's handwriting, In the item on the credit side £207,668, 14s 10d, the sum of £38,179 was not included. It was written off the capital. The bank had customers named Olivier and Co., and he produced their bills of exchange, amounting to £419, which were dishonoured. He produced the book in which the past due bills were written in defen dant Burch's writing, and he there found written against Messrs Olivier's bills, in pencil the word " forgery," in the prisoner Terry's writing. There was nothing to show at what date the word, which was in pencil. was written. On the back of one of the bills, in Terry's handwriting, is written, "The first instalment of 2s in the pound paid, 11th May, '61." There was no entry of this dividend in the past due bill book ; but Olivier's debt was in 1862 carried as £419 into the item of £207,000 as bills discounted and loans to cus tomers, In the committee minute book there was under date Feb. 19, 1861, a minute to the effect that Olivier hay. ing been guilty of forgery with respect to certain bills, steps should be taken to have him apprehended. That sum was carried into the assets as bills discounted. The bank had customers named Harrison and Co., and he produced their bills, 22 in number, amounting to V.,670. They were dated principally in the year 1860. They appeared to have been exhibited in the Court of Bankruptcy in June, 1861, and after that a dividend was deducted from them leaving an amount of £1,861, which was carried into the good assets. Messrs. Cowell and Brooks were customers of the bank, and in 1859 they were indebted to the bank in the sum of .E 3,615. In 1860 £2,011 was written off as lost, which left a balance of L 1,603. The entry appeared to be in Terry's writing. In 1859 it appeared that security of Cowell and Brooks was sold, realising £1,376 Ga 2d; and in February, 1861, a dividend of s}d was received, which left a balance of £l4B 17s, and that balance 1 armed part of the sum entered in the balance-sheet as good assets of the bank in 1862. A Mr Lowenthall was also a customer of the bank, end in June, 1862, he owed the bank £1,635, principally upon bills drawn by Lowenthall upon Ironsides. In 1860 Iron sides was a debtor to the bank in the sum of £735, which was written off as wholly lost. In June, 1862, Lowen thall's bills were renewed, Ironsides' bills being taken by way of renewal, Ironsides being at that time bankrupt. Ironsides' bills were entered in the bill diary book of the bank, September 1892. The figures were written on an erasure, and the total, £1,635, was in the prisoner Terry's handwriting. At this stage Mr Lewis proposed to adjourn the case, re marking that there was a number of similar accounts to go through, and in that way he would show that £lOO,OOO bad assets had been treated as good. Mr Sleigh and Mr Metcalfe addressed his lordship with a view to induce him to admit the prisoners to bail, but his lordship deolined to take upon himself the responsibility, and the prisoners were again remanded.

Accordingly, we embarked on Sunday, and sailed the following morning. Captain de Courcy, Norcock, and myself, with one company, embarked ou board the Leopard, a paddler, and very comfortable she is. We got down here this day week, and our company was transferred to the Argus, a smaller paddler.

Mr Lewis, jun., was for the prosecution ; and Mr Sleigh appeared for Terry, and Mr Metcalfe appeared for Burch. The evidence given on the last occasion, it will be re membered, was merely that contained in the information upon which the warrant was granted for the apprehension of the prisoners, and which went to show that in making the balance-sheet the defendants had introduced as assets certain sums, to a very large amount, which it was con tended on the part of the prosecution they were well aware were entirely lost to the bank and past recovery, and so made it appear that the affairs of the bank were in a prosper ous and solvent condition, they well knowing that at the time the bank had lost large sums of money, and was in a state of hopeless insolvency. Upon the information being read over the prisoners were remanded until yesterday, the only witness called being Mr Keitch, who was one of the committee of liquidators, and who produced the charter and articles under which the company was incorporated. Mr Keitch, who was called on the last occasion, said, in answer to Mr Metcalfe, the committee of liquidators con sisted of five gentlemen, with himself. Mr Hopgood was not on the committee. The whole of the directors and com mittee of liquidators were directing the prosecution. In answer to Mr. Lewis, he said the resolution waspassed to prosecute, and three of the directors were present at the meeting, Mr Alderman Mechi, Mr Deputy Bower, and Mr George Eyre. He thought the directors refrained from voting. The resolution was passed by show of hands, and there were no hands shown against it. Mr. Howell, whose evidence was contained in the infor mation, was recalled, and said he was an accountant, and had had the management of the accounts of the Unity Bank on behalf of the liquidators. The books were temporarily placed in his hands in February in the present year, and permanently on March 15. Since that ho had investigated the accounts for the purpose of ascertaining the assets. He produced the minute-books of the board and committee of the bank. He believed the two defendants were in the bank from the commencement. The handwriting of Mr. Terry appears on the books from the commencement. The first mention of Mr. Terry as manager to the bank was made in the minutes on Aug. 18, 185.5. On that date there is an entry in his handwriting to that effect, which was signed " J. J. Mechi, Governor. Mr. Burch was appointed secretary on Jan. 25, 1861, and there was also a minute on that date to that effect. He produced the minute book of Aug. 18, 1857. The minutes taken on that (ley were in the handwriting of Mr Terry. A letter, signed G. L. Eyre, was contained in the minutes, in which the directors were invited by him to call a meeting of the proprietors in consequence of the bad state of the affsirs of the bank. The letter was dated 1, John-street, Bedford-row, and addressed to Mr Sheriff Mcchi, governor of the Unity Bank, signed G. L, Eyre, and was as follows : " My dear Sir,—Sinco our last wart day I have taken into consideration the position of the Unity Bank, and my its deliberate opinion as to the propriety of calling a specie meeting of the proprietors to consider the position of the bank. In the result of any such meeting, I shall be pre pared to state unreservedly my view of the present position of the property, and at the same time to resign my seat as a director. In the contrary event, I shall at any rate feel that I have done my duty by putting on record my protest against the present system of management, and my opinion as to the course which ought to be taken in justice to the proprietors." Upon the reading of the above letter the following reso lution was passed:—`' That this Court regrets that any delay should have taken place in answering Mr Eyre's letter, but circumstances have rendered that delaynecessary in order fully and satisfactorily to reply to his communica tion. It has new to inform Mr Eyre that the Court has received and accepted Mr Chambers' assignation on such terms as it trusts will be for the benefit of the bank and be satisfactory to the proprietors. The Court has made arrange ments for the present management of the bank with Mr Terry. Uader these circumstances the Court does not think it necessary to adopt Mr Eyre's suggestion of calling the proprietors together before the ordinary time for holding its half-yearly meeting." By Mr Sleigh—The resolution was confirmed by J. J, Mechi on Aug. 25, 1857. Witness continued—The directors did not call together the shar9holders after receiving that letter, but appointed Mr Terry as manager. (The minute to that effect was read.) On Nov. 3, 1857, a committee of investigation was formed to investigate the affairs of the bank, but he could not find the report of that committee. He produced the board minute book and read the minutes of the board meeting, held Nov. 28, 1857, present Messrs Mechi, Lloyd, Hayward, Bower, Eyre, &c., which stated that the report of the committee of investigation having been read, it was resolved " That the report of the committee appointed to investigate the affairs having been considered, the directors desire to place before the gentlemen forming that committee the following consi• deration. With respect to the first clause of the report, they have desired the solicitor to see that the bank be forthwith registered under the Joint-Stock Companies Act, 1857. With regard to the second cl ause, in which the committee state that they have carefully in vesti g ated the accounts laid before them, and discover the startling fact that about £90,000 has been lost in bad debts, preliminary expenses, and bank premises, leaving about £60,000 available for business purposes, the directors would request the commit tee to consider whether it is a fact that tilt that £90,000 has been lost, when this sum includes all the investments of the official document, that may be called for at a p ublic meetin g , co mpany, and whether it would not be better in a p ublic and to state accurately the facts as they are, viz., extreme esti mated loss on bills £30,000, loss on bank premises, Pimlico. Aldgate,Watford, and St Albans, £2,77 8 16 s 1,1 ; les s esti mated amount to be realised on the same , £721 16s 9d, leaving a loss of £2,056 198 4d; prelimin ar y ex p enses, £28,882 15s sd; investments in bankpremises £24,057 4s 4d. The directors, therefore, request the committee to revise the report in this respect ; but with respect to the attendance of directors at the bank, this has been carried out, and the other recommendations of the committee shall be carried out so far as practicable. Resolved,—That a copy of the above reso lution be sent to R. A, Ewing, Esq., chairman of the com mittee." This resolution was confirmed December 4, 1857, by J. J. Mechi. In answer to Mr Metcalfe, Mr Howell said the entries of these minutes were in the prisoner Terry's handwriting. In May, 1858, a call of £5 on each share was made, which appeared in the minutes of a meeting on the 12th March, the entry of which was in the defendant Burch's handwriting. In answer to Mr Metcalfe, Witness said there were 3,000 shares out at that time. Reexamined—The call of £5 a-share would realise £15,000; £5O per share had been previously paid up. They were £lOO shares, and unlimited liability. There was another call of £5 a share made in December, 1858, and there was a minute of a resolution made to that effect on the Ist October, 1858. Mr Bower was in the chair at that time, and the entry was in the handwriting of Mr Burch. He produced the minute books of all the meetings, and balance sheets down to Dec. 1860, and all the balance sheets down to the one of December, 1860, show prominently the amount of the past due bills. He produced the balance sheet for December, 1857. In it there appeared an entry of £40,559 as past due bills, and there was a minute to the effect that £ll,OOO of that sum would probably be recovered, and no portion of it had been written off until it could be ascertained what amount would be realised as the affairs of the creditors were under investigati on. Mr Sleigh—Am I to understand that it appeared promi nently the balance s h eet as £10, 559 pas t d ue bill s not written i n o f f ? W it ne ss said it did. Re-examined — Besides the wor d s " past due bills," there appea red "bills discounted an d l oans t o customers." Mr Lewis s aid u p to th at time the balance sheet was cor rect, but it was after that da te the charge appeared against t h e prisoners, Witness continued—ln the b a l ance sheet of June, 18 58 , which ho produced, tho amount of past due bills was shown billsas se parate item under the head l d so sh and o l w oa e n d: to of C ustomers of £133,579, and thatin 3 7 i balance 7 good and bad, are properly ytrnecae treated, sheet down to December re presented. In the balance sh eet of 31st December, 1858, past due bills, bills discounted, and loans to customers are treated as separ ate items. I n the balance sheet of 30th June December the bor items 0 17disco andudiscounted t a sheet e the assets, • and are so down to D 30, 1860, was in B urch's handw riting, and was confirmed at a general meeting in 1861, at 3, l are s6o. which Mr Alderman Mechi presided. That bala nce sheet s h owe d a l oss of £38,179, which was written tole the cap i tal at that meet ing, and it was reso lved that a sum of £5OO s hould be simTihlaarbl balance voted to the directors for their services. The £38,179 is substituted for the £ 1 7 9 • 195 ) the amount of the paid up capital, making it appear a, £141,015; and in all subsequent balance-sheets the p a i d.. . ns p capital appears as £141,015, and the loss of £ 38,00 0 never appears any in sub sequent balance-sheet. In the balance.sheet up toDec , 1861, the preliminary expenses wer e put down as £32,648, and were entered in the general ledger, which ho produced, as preliminary expenses, which appeared to be partly com posed of items paid far salaries after the opening of the bank, amounting to £1,083. Tho last date of salary paid, included in that amount, was March 14, 1857, There wore other items, consisting of salaries amounting to £7,137. The bank opened on the Gth of May, 1856, and the amount ex pended up to that time was £2,632, which could be fairly entered as preliminary expenses. A total of £1,316 was passed to the preliminary expenses, which included the £1,083 for salaries. The transfer of these sums to the pre liminary expenses would tend to show a large profit. There sees an item under the bead of stationary, of £3,342 entered in the column headed current expenses, which was charged, after deducting £6OO, to the preliminary expenses, and brought out in a balance in the column under the head of preliminary expenses. The account for stationary up to the opening of the bank appeared to be £997, and the amount of £2,363, which was spent for stationary after the opening of the bank was charged in the preliminary expenses. The entries were all in Terry's writing. The last item was in Oct., 1857. There also appeared in the ledger the rent ac count, amounting to 12,365 for rent paid after the opening of the bank, the last item being on the 30th of April, 1857, and which was also charged to the preliminary expenses pointed a temporary clerk at Somerset House.

Had you remained steadfast to your duty and your colours, the vie. tory would have been one of the most brilliant and decisive of the war ; you would have gloriously re trieved the reverses of Winchester and Fisher's Hill, and entitled yourselves to the admiration and gratitude of your country. But many of you, in. eluding some commissioned officers, yielding to a disgraceful propensity for plunder, deserted your colours to appropriate to yourselves the abandoned property of the enemy, and subsequently those who had previously remained at their posts, seeing their ranks thinned by the absence of the plunderers, when the enemy, late in the afternoon, with his shattered columns made but a feeble effort to re trieve the fortunes of the day, yielded to a need less panic and fled the field in confusion, thereby converting a splendid victory into a disaster. Had any respectable number of you listened to the ape peals made to you and made a stand, even at the last moment, the disaster would have been averted, and the substantial fruits of victory secured ; but under the insane dread of being flanked, and a panic-stricken terror of ea eal he threat, enemy's or ca order, and valry, you would listen to no app , allowed a small body of cavalry to penetrate to our train and carry off a number of pieces of artillery and waggons which your disorder left unprotected. You have thus obscured that glorious name won in conjunction with the gallant men of the army of Northern Virginia, who still remain proudly de fiant in the trenches around Richmond and Peters. and your hcroes. burg. Before you can again claim them as corn. from rades you will have to erase from your escocheons the blemishes which now obscure them ; and this you can do if you will but be true to your former reputation, your country, the Wilderness You who have fought at Manassas, Rich mond, Sharpsburg, Fredericksburg, Chancellors. ville, Gettysburg, and to the banks of James river,and • were with the immortal Jackson in 11 his • a triumphs, are capable of better things. Arouse yourselves, then, to a sense of your manhood and appreciation of the sacred cause to which Yield to the mandates ofdiscipline; by your colours in future atall you are engaged. resolve to stand hazards, and you can yet retrieve your reputation and strike effective blows for your country and its cause. Let every man spurn from him the vile plunder gathered on some men. Tuesday, 6th September.—Early in the morning all the marines of the fleet and the battalion met on board the Argus to be landed. There were not enough of captains to lead the companies, so I was given command of a company composed of different ships' marines, being the senior suhaltcrn not otherwise engaged. We landed about eight in the morning, as also did a naval brigade, consisting entirely of blue jackets. Col. Sather had command of the whole. Oar battalion of ships' marines, under Col. Adair, went along the beach to a fort which ships kept firing on, and which had very heavy guns. Wo took it almost with out resistance, dismounted the guns, blew up the magazine, and destroyed its buildings. We wore assisted by the French and Patch; and ships' boats, armed with guns in their bows, crept along the shore fo assist us. After resting, we proceeded a long distance along the beeeh till we came to the outskirts of the town of Simonosaki, the principal street of which faces to the sea. Along the street we went in column, having a party destroying and gutting the houses in case of being fired on from them. We had not gone far when the enemy appeared—as quickly disappearing again barn.* a won-directed volley of muoketry and ease-snot from the field-piece in the boats. We suppose our flro then. was very deadly, but had no time to find out, as the housca in our rear were blazing, and our retreat would have been cut off if we had not retreated at the top of our speed. The day was then declining; and we returned and were waiting abreast of our ships for boats to take us on board, and eating our dinners most contentedly, when we heard tremendous firing of every kind up the ravine at the foot of which we were resting. Soon we got a message to say that there was a troublesome fort to be silenced, and they wanted more men. Three companies, of which mine was one, were sent up to assist. The fort was being ap proached by the naval brigade on the left side of tho ravine, so we went up on the right side, under a not very heavy fire from them. Wo had advanced a considerable distance up this ravine when we lost sight of the other side from the nature of the ground; and when next we got into more open country we saw that the naval brigade were on the point of entering the fort at the further end of it from us. and the Japanese were rushing out at the other end with a field-piece, with the object of planting it in some higher part commanding the fort. We dashed forward to intercept them. The road on which we were and the read on which they were apparently converged, and we got within 80 yards of them. I fired two shots, still running, with my long service revolver, keeping my Dean and Adams for close work, when at that moment we came to a turn of the road which showed us where they were dragging the gun to. At the distance of 120 yards, as near as I could guess, there was a formidable stockade, between which and ourselves there was no cover, and they gave us a tremendous volley of it from musketry only. Several men dropped killed or wounded. I shouted to my company to get up the wooded bank to the right and keep under cover, and gradually work up so as to get above the stockade, and fire down into it. I was preparing to accompany them when I saw two men wounded lying within two paces in front of me, who were vainly trying to crawl out of the fire, which was still well kept up by the Japanese ; and I ordered four men to miry them to the rear. I had great difficulty in making myself heard, and in these few seoonds' delay I got shot myself. I was taken to the roar, and luckily met Angus Robertson, a s s i s tant-surgeon, who was hurrying up with stretchers, Ilic. Directly he saw the two holee he said It's all right, the bullet's gone clean throug h, and by the direction, I don't think it has touched the bone.' This proved to be correct. Captain de Con ro y was then hit, as was also ricochet which wh Alexander,iohstunned him, and knocked hi m d own thoR.N., and Col. Adair was struck by a bank. They then fired a field,piece down the ravine, but luckily pointed it too high. Sept. 15.—The fighting is all over. Prince Nagato has given in, but considers he is very hardly treated, as he says the Tycoon encouraged him to fight against us, promising him support which he never gave. The Tycoon told us the contrary : that he had p ersua d e d N aga t o t o k eep hi s treaty with us, but he would not. The Tycoon is jealous of his power, and wanted to see him beaten. Another instance of the deceitful policy of the Japanese is most extraordinary. On the southern side of the Straits is th e p roperty o f anot h er prince who is friendly to foreign Powers. He, when he saw the bombardment commence, tookfright that Negate should afterwards make war on him for not assisting him, and sent a message to the admiral begging him to allow him to fire blank cartridge, to make it appear he was firing at us from his forts. Of course, his request was refused. When they do such things among themselves they naturally will ba more decei ful to foreigners when there is anything to gain by it, and we never shall be able to understand the pet pie till more Europeans have thoroughly mastered the lan• guage and mixed with all ranks of the people. LA DTERT IS EMENT.3 —Holloway' 8 Ointment and Pills, — Old Sores, Wounds, and Ulcers,—lt is surprising how quickly any sore, ulcer, or wound drains-away the body's strength, and unfits it for the duties of life; but it is no less wonderful to watch how these trop!cal afflictions improve on the application of Holloway's healing Ointment. It has achieved the surest and most gloiious triumphs over bad legs, foul ulcerations, and knotted veins which had con founded the faculty and well nigh worn out their victims. It creates sound flesh, and therefore makes its cure oom. plete. When this Ointment is properly applied, and assisted by appropriate doses of the Pills, the pain, infiame mation, and other morbid manifestations soon disappear from the afilioted part, and health and btrength return.
